Yes and in Beijing 2008 we went eight days without even one medal! I think we got our first in wrestling on Day 8

And the country was TESTY about it!

Now that we are done a full week, let's compare our performance relative to 2020.

 

Sport 2020 2024
Athletics 6 -
Canoeing 2 -
Cycling 2 -
Diving 1 1
Fencing - 1
Football 1 -
Gymnastics - 1
Judo 2 1
Rowing 2 -
Rugby Sevens - 1
Softball 1 -
Swimming 6 5
Tennis - 1
Weightlifting 1 -
Total 24 11

Obviously some sports (athletics, canoeing, cycling, weightlifting) haven't started or barely started so there isn't much to comment. Additionally, softball isn't held this time, but the medal won at rugby sevens sort of replaces that. One thing I've noticed is we've won medals in four sports (fencing, gymnastics, rugby sevens, tennis) in which we didn't medal in 2020.

 

In diving, we already matched our performance in 2020 so anything more in the individual events would be a bonus.

 

In football, we've reached the quarterfinals and are still in the hunt for a medal. The match against Germany will be tough, but if we can beat France then we have a chance. Even if we do fail we also have a chance in basketball so we may end up matching our team sport medals

 

Judo unfortunately will likely see a decrease in medals won. There's still the mixed team, but I don't fancy our chances.

 

Rowing we only have one boat remaining in the medal hunt so we are going to perform worse than expected. It will be worse if our women's eights fail to medal too.

 

With some medal chances tomorrow I feel confident we will at least match our swimming total. McIntosh has replaced our relay team dropping to fourth. Things were looking a bit dicey, but medals from Kharun and Masse has turned this into an okay showing. Personally I was expecting 6-8 medals.

Are we on pace to surpass Tokyos gold and total counts?

I think so, we still have plenty of chances. My original prediction was around 25 medals and I don't see why we can't reach that.

I agree.  As a Canadian I am patriotic. Hopeful but the cynic in me is worried we will not match last olympic medal count.  First, all the predictions  have Canada earning less medals. Second, we really have not increased our stars with new stars. Sure we have a few ie Summer McIntosh but  rowing, and athletics we are weaker for sure.   Looks like Damian Warner is in trouble and we don't have his teammate here so that could be two medals down. Andre D. is not even favoured to win any medal here.  Its asking a lot for women's soccer to medal after the huge penalty they received.  We just lost the 10000k race and the swimming relays have had at at least two fourths.  Canada won two bronze in trampoline and tennis which were nice surprises but they need a few more medals from surprise sources if they are going to beat last olympic medal count.

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
